I turned around.
Eric had risen from the couch, and he wore no pants. His body was a perfect statue of a man, something photoshopped instead of actually real. His thighs were thick with muscle, and his cock hung heavy and soft.
Oh my God, I thought, eyes locking onto it as if by a magnet.
I heard Leslie’s words in my head: you just left him there in your cabin? The unspoken threat of a strange man forced its way into my immediate concern, the stupidity of doing something like that.
“I feel very well,” Eric said casually. “Thank you for your help last night.”
He made no move toward me. He just stood there, innocent and weird. Thankfully that made the situation more embarrassing than threatening. I crossed my arms over my breasts and tried to appear nonchalant.
“You can put on some clothes, you know.”
Eric looked down at himself with confusion. “Oh.”
“Oh indeed. Though I can see you’re not cold.”
The moment the joke was out of my mouth I cringed. Complimenting this stranger on his dick size like we were at some bar, where cheesy pickup lines were the norm. But Eric only blinked.
“I am quite warm indeed. However, my clothes were not satisfactorily clean. Once I had taken a shower—” the word sounded strange on his tongue, “—I did not wish to return them to me. They are presently being laundered.”
That’s when I realized my washer was rumbling on the other side of the cabin. “Well, I think I’ve got some old clothes lying around here somewhere. Let me fetch ‘em and you can help bring in supplies.”
I went to my bedroom more to retreat from his overwhelmingly masculine presence than to actually get him clothes, the blush on my face deepening with each second.
